Monthly Archives: August 2015

First of all we must say a huge thank you to Jonny & Laura Carr, as without them this amazing trial wouldn’t happen. Jonny gets very stressed each year, worrying that it isn’t going to be a success, but every time it is the trial with the biggest smiles.

We are still waiting for the final total that we have raised for Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice, but we know we have raised a fantastic amount due to your generosity. Thank you so much to everyone who donated, entered, bought food, raffle tickets, and donated prizes. It soon adds up.

Its the big day this Sunday 30th August, below are the pre-entries for the trial. Because we haven’t filled the 50 spaces allowed, we will be taking entries on the morning. But this will be on a first come first served basis, if there isn’t space for you to ride we would love it if you could help out.

We are now accepting entries to the Brough Rough N’ 2015. Due to a request from the amazing landowner Mr Ollerenshaw who allows us to run this top trial, we will be limiting the entries to 50 riders. A list of pre-entered riders can be found here: http://www.sheffieldandhallamshiretrials.co.uk/?p=510. We will be accepting entries on the day, but these are on a first come first served basis.

This years nominated charity is Bluebell Wood Children Hospice in Sheffield, if you would like to find out more, please visit their website: http://www.bluebellwood.org/

If you haven’t rode the Brough Rough N’ before, it is a trial like no other! It is a big lap, all off road, 1 route trial. The sections range from very easy, to almost impossible, but nothing is dangerous. Sections close at 4pm and you choose the amount of laps you want to do.

Directions to the Brough Rough N:

If using a SatNav, please use the postcode: S32 1AH to Abney. Follow the arrows up Duper Lane, this is a very small road that is not suitable for anything larger than a big van. Please do not try and get to the start from Brough using Brough Lane.

There will be direction signs from Hathersage, but if they are missing for any reason:
In Hathersage, take the road to the train station / Grindleford
Opposite the Plough Inn, take the right turn up to Abney.
At Abney, take the right turn on to Duper Lane.
